Written with
the younger band in mind, this fun, easy-to-play chart can be performed as
written or used as a tool to reinforce ear training and improvising. There is ample solo space for alto saxophone,
trumpet, and guitar and can be played with a swing or hip hop feel. The reasonable brass ranges and flexibility
of this chart make it a must have for the younger band! (5-4-4-4)
|
  In the Basie Tradition.
|
Here is a really nice blues chart with fresh, interesting lines and great ensemble passages.

Due to Covid-19 The Bob Curnow Big Band was not able to
record this piece live. What you will hear is a Finale midi playback. We ask
your understanding and look forward to being able to provide a recording of the
great Curnow Big Band in the near future
Hear The Music! See The Music!
This chart was commissioned for
the Fred Sturm Jazz Celebration Weekend and is one of Patty’s best charts yet. Patty Darling’s writing career has
skyrocketed because of her ability to write relevant, interesting contemporary
music, especially for younger players.
This piece is based on a terrific Hip Hop / Swing groove that you won’t
be able to get out of your head. It’s a guarantee that your band will love this
new piece by Patty. Solos are indicated for trumpet and guitar (or piano).
You’ll hear echoes of Patty’s chart on the
Radiohead classic “Idioteque” without all the demands of that chart. Moderate ranges
for all makes this a very accessible chart for most bands. 5-5-4-5 (opt. vibes) $50.00

This piece is patterned after Stan Kenton's Dynaflow, but it is written in such a way that it is quite easy to play.
|
Geoff has scored a very hip, musical easy-to-play chart in the classic blues form, using his incomparable melodic and harmonic sense of things.
|
Stan had a very definite style of arranging which, of course, was the basis of most of the music for his early bands.

Ellen has a marvelous knack for being able to write sophisticated music which is not difficult to perform.
|
This piece is the ORIGINAL chart done by Oliver Nelson.
|
This cute little novelty piece is one that Stan Kenton would include in the program to feature Red Kelly on vocals. It was recorded on "Live at the Tropicana", and will make for a wonderful, crowd pleasing addition providing that extra variety that every program needs.
